This proposal aims to investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid and...

We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more...

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

We will exploit the powerful and unique capability of NIMROD to follow in a time-resolving manner the crystallisation of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). There are three key length...

Production of hydrogen from water via visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting is a future technology that may offer important routes to clean fuels. Graphitic carbon...

We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers, specifically stereoregulqr polypropylenes, crystallise. There...

We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to...

We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. For synthetic polymers there are...

Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in...

The goal of this project is to understand the intermolecular forces that promote amphiphile self assembly in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a room temperature ionic liquid (IL)....

Nano-materials are of interest in the field of energy conversion and storage due to properties not seen for the bulk. However, due to their non-periodic nature, the atomic...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of a short and long alkyl chain length ionic liquid on the nanoscale...

Sol-gel derived calcium silicates are of great importance due to their ability to bond to bone and stimulate new bone growth. Diffraction has revealed the atomic-scale changes...

In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD...

Neutron diffraction will be used to investigate and compare the structure of binary mixtures of ionic liquids above and below the critical micelle concentration. Mixtures of...

The search for new porous materials is increasingly be driven by socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based...

Structural studies of water have been made for a wide range of states but little work has been made for ¿stretched water¿, i.e. under negative pressure. This state may be...

We intend to explore the intermediate q-range (0.1 to 50\AA-1) in nanogranular Fe35Ag65 and Fe15Ag85 thin films. These systems have been proven to have a crossover between a...
